Changed plan to leave due Donald breaking a tooth, although no pain involved probably best not do a 10-12 day passage as pain or worse an infection comes along. Went out cycling looking for a dentist open on Saturday, found one on outskirts of town and have a appointment for 1500hrs therefore did not make sense to leave so late in the day. Decision 24-hour delay, an extra night in the marina.

The routing implies the delay in arriving UK not 24 hours but a little less than 18.

A little bit more boat faffing will be done, may polish the stainless bits. Forward hatch needs taping up and wee know the heavy weather jib will be used so the inner forestay needs attaching.
